Dive into the sunken pirate city of Port Royal
Yes, a real historic pirate city! Yes, sunk! Unbelievable, we know, but it’s 100% true. Port Royal was a very famous city in the 17th century. Controlled at one time by the Spanish, it was later conquered by the English under Cromwell. However, the city was always a pirate city. Plagued by debauchery and general acts of violence, the city generated much notorious fame. In the year 1692, a great earthquake struck the city. The ground was split open and most of the city was under water along with its residents. Today, the ruins of the city lie up to 40 feet underwater and can be explored by scuba diving. This is one of the most authentic wreck diving experiences in the world. Divers can see monuments, ships, and various other submerged structures from the time of the earthquake.
